Razer launched two new immersive gaming chairs, the Soma Pro and the Soma Sensa HD Haptics, featuring integrated haptic feedback and spatial audio.
The new models, the Soma Pro and the Soma Sensa HD Haptics, aim to turn the seat into an active part of the gaming experience by using motors to simulate in-game sensations.
While the flagship Soma Pro combines haptic feedback, THX Spatial Audio, and Chroma RGB lighting, the more affordable Sensa HD model focuses strictly on tactile response. The Soma Pro is designed to make users hear and feel every in-game gunshot or the rumble of a speeding motorcycle.
The Soma Pro is priced at $999.99 in the US, £999.99 in the UK, and €1,029.99 in Europe. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics retails for $569.99, £569.99, and €589.99, according to TalkEsport.
Both chairs utilize Razer Sensa HD Haptics, a technology the company first debuted in 2024 as part of Project Esther, CNET reported.
The hardware includes six haptic motor actuators built into the seat. These motors are programmed to provide vibrations that follow the intensity, direction, and distance of supported in-game events. This system is designed so that players can tell sensations apart, Bleeding Cool noted.
This allows the motors to react to audio from movies, music, and other software, though a Razer representative did not immediately respond to a request for clarification regarding whether the feature works on anything that supports controller vibration.

The Soma Pro is the only model in the lineup that includes built-in speakers and RGB lighting. This configuration effectively combines a Razer Freyja haptics cushion and a Razer Clio neck rest speaker into a single seat. The concept, which was previously seen as a prototype dubbed “Project Madison” at CES 2026, aims to make the chair part of the game itself.
Users can utilize the integrated speakers alone or pair them with external front speakers to widen the soundstage, with the chair handling the rear of the setup. The chair also features Razer Chroma RGB lighting.
This design is intended to provide comfort for long gaming and working sessions. The chairs also feature a fixed built-in lumbar arch, a design choice likely necessitated by the complexity of housing haptic hardware within the backrest.
The Soma Pro includes additional premium hardware to provide the most adjustable fit in the line, such as 4D armrests, a magnetic head cushion, a frog tilt mechanism, and a 5-star powder-coated aluminum alloy wheelbase, CNET reported.
The Soma Pro requires an adapter of at least 45 W, while the Soma Sensa HD Haptics requires at least 27 W. The Soma Pro includes a USB Type-C extension cable, which the Soma Sensa HD Haptics does not. Both chairs support Razer HyperSpeed Wireless (2.4 GHz) for PC and allow users to switch to Bluetooth LE connections via a built-in control panel.
The current Soma series is organized into three distinct models based on feature sets and budgets. The Soma Chroma, the company’s first RGB gaming chair, costs $499 and provides only lighting. The Soma Sensa HD Haptics, priced at $569.99, adds the six-actuator haptic system but removes the speakers and RGB. The Soma Pro, at $999.99, is the only model to offer all three features: haptics, THX Spatial Audio, and Chroma RGB.
